The Prey
I know this movie in itself is only about an hr long, the rest filled with obvious filler and stock footage, but I'm still a fan. The cast pretty much go by the seat of their pants with their lines, almost improvising some scenes.
I thought the atmosphere in The Prey was decently portrayed, even through all those wooden characters and stock footage scenes.
The special F/X were quiet good in this one.
I just learned the other day that this was filmed in 1978, which is rightly one of the earlier true backwoods slasher films produced. Let's face it, we can see why it took six years for someone to pick it up.
Spoiler below:*-*
The killer was really creepy - a burned gypsy. The end scene of the cave opening and the baby crying - that really left a bad taste in mouth.
Despite all it's budgetary flaws, The Prey is still a watchable film.
I really liked Jackson Bostwick's character in this as well. No one can tell the wide mouthed frog joke like him.

I liked it. I loved the gore FX as well... especially the rock in the face!

I haven't been able to find this one on DVD!! I saw it many years ago as a rental tape and liked it. I thought I saw on Fangoria is was to be released on DVD but I think they put it off. But there is another flick by this name which I didn't like; the one with the two lesbos in it.

Anchor Bay said (after three years) they wouldn't release it. That pisses me off. It was originally supposed to appear on the a double feature with The Pit (a favorite of mine) but it was replaced with Hellgate for somegoddamn reason. Hellgate is not that bad, but I want my Prey goddam it!
